Try to remember if you have recently visited the spam section of your email inbox and opened one of the files attached in those questionable emails. You open the email, download and open the attachment and the ransomware is now able to begin the encoding process. As those emails normally use topics like money, plenty of users open them without even thinking about what might happen. What you can expect from a ransomware email is a general greeting (Dear Customer/Member/User etc), clear mistypes and errors in grammar, strong suggestion to open the file attached, and the use of a known business name. Your name would be inserted into the email automatically if it was a legitimate company whose email should be opened. Expect to see company names like Amazon or PayPal used in those emails, as known names would make people trust the email more. Or maybe you engaged with an infected ad when browsing suspicious pages, or downloaded something from a source that you ought to have avoided. Be very careful about what adverts you click on, especially when on questionable sites. You may have also obtained the ransomware accidentally when it was hidden as some kind of software/file on an unreliable download platform, which is why you’re better off using valid sources. Keep in mind that you should never download software, updates, or anything really, from pop-up or any other kinds of ads. If a program was needed to be updated, you would be alerted via the program itself, not through your browser, and usually they update without your intervention anyway.
